Most people will tell you they never seem to have enough money from payday to payday. These same people will also tell you they don’t know where their money goes. Budget support can help people see exactly where the money goes. Everyone knows that the majority of their money goes to pay rent or a mortgage, taxes, and utilities and food, but where does the extra pocket money go each week?

A simple trick for budget support is for a person to write down every time they spend money in one day. The cup of coffee on the way to work, the candy bar from co-workers who are selling them for their kids school, the magazine, every expense. Once a person see how fast these items add up, they realize it would be better to bring a thermos cup of coffee from home or read the magazine at the local library. Naturally everyone will have different items on their list, but it is a great way to find an extra $10 or $20 a week.

Another good way to save money is to pare down utility bills. Ask the phone company if there is a less expensive plan. Cut the cable TV bill down by going to the basic package, everyone should aim for cutting down just one monthly bill. The savings will be worth the small sacrifice.
